Saturdays are a great day in the NHL, and we've got 12 games going on today. We even have afternoon hockey. With so many teams in action, that also means even more individual skaters. If you'd rather not have to rely on a team to cover a puck line or pull off an upset, then the player prop market is for you. We've targeted the best matchups on today's slate to boost your bankroll heading into NFL Sunday. Along with our player props, be sure to check out all of our NHL picks for today's action.
Let's take a closer look at my 2 favorite player props.
Elias Lindholm over 0.5 points (-160)
The Calgary Flames are a team that looks a bit different from last season, but are off to just as hot of a start. They're battling the Vegas Golden Knights atop the Pacific Division with their 5-1-0 record. They've been holding off the Edmonton Oilers, who they face tonight. That should provide a great matchup for Elias Lindholm. The Flames center spent last season skating alongside Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Tkachuk. Lindholm was often the one of that trio that flew under the radar, but is great in his own right.
